Before the March, the protesters are clear that they do not want the democratic mayor, they were the support or the blessing, and urged him to resign, about what you get as its inability to, gun crime under control.

“The reputation of the people said ‘cream,'” Dr. Gregory Livingston, according to The Chicago Tribune. “So how, then, can you get back to your own regime change? How do you intend to sanctions of its own termination? How stupid, naive and self-hating, do you think, are we?”

“To be honest, if the mayor supported the protest, it is no longer a protest,” the Rev. Ira Acree said. “There will be a parade, and we are on a serious business.”

WMAQ reported that the protesters said they were to distribute to the search, “the pain and agony that no economic development on the South and West side to the North side.”

The March came after thousands of demonstrators shut down traffic on Interstate 94 in the past month, the attention on gun violence.
